Django: django-secretballot MIDDLEWARE

Question

When adding 'secretballot.middleware.SecretBallotMiddleware' to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES I keep getting the following error:

Exception Type: NotImplementedError

Exception Location: .../django_secretballot-0.2.3-py2.7.egg/secretballot/middleware.py in generate_token, line 11

Any ideas why? Thanks in advance for the help!

Answer 1

According to docs, you shouldn't add secretballot.middleware.SecretBallotMiddleware middleware.

Choose from SecretBallotIpMiddleware or SecretBallotIpUseragentMiddleware.

Answer 2

The reason of this error is that SecretBallotMiddleware is actually an abstract class (source) you need to subclass it or use already implemented SecretBallotIpMiddleware. See documentation section MIDDLEWARE for details.
